John Benjamin Toshack
used Sağlam as a central defender. He was quite successful in that position, too.

During his six years at

Galatasaray
.

Managerial career

Early career

In 2006, Sağlam was voted one of the top 20 most promising coaches by respected football magazine

Galatasaray. Bursaspor had the strongest strikeforce and the second strongest defence, of all teams in the league. It was manager Sağlam's first full season in charge having taken over in January 2009, and it is the first time he, and Bursaspor, won the league.[4]

After first helping

Galatasaray. At the end of the 2003–04 season, they finished 7th in the table. The following season, 2004–05
, was less successful and they finished in 12th position.

Kayserispor

Sağlam was manager of

Galatasaray
.

Beşiktaş

Sağlam before a Beşiktaş match

In July 2007 Sağlam became the manager of

following season Beşiktaş won four of their first six games and drew the other two. However, he resigned on 7 October 2008. His last game being a 2–1 home victory against Hacettepe
the previous day.

Bursaspor

Appointment and first year

Galatasaray. For the 18 games that Sağlam was in charge during the 2008–09 season, Bursaspor lost only twice. They picked up 36 points; an average of 2 per game, while also recording a 2–1 victory over Fenerbahçe and a draw with Beşiktaş. The end of the season saw Bursaspor finish in sixth position, missing out on a European place by just three points. Bursaspor also reached the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup losing 4–1 on aggregate to Fenerbahçe
.

The league title

The

Istanbul, the largest win in the league to date this season, and also a 2–3 away win against Fenerbahçe after winning from two goals down. Bursaspor again reached the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup and again they lost on aggregate to Fenerbahçe, this time crashing out 4–3 due to an injury time winner from Fener. In April 2010 Bursa sat at the top of the table after being in the top three for the past few months. With eight games left to play Bursa were five points clear at the top.[6] After securing a win by coming from behind to win 2–1 against Antalyaspor
, after having lost the previous week for the first time in eight league games, Sağlam was quoted as saying that:

"We (Bursaspor) are on the verge of becoming a great team, we had to win, even if it meant coming from behind to do so. That was the important thing."[7]

Five weeks before the end of the season, Bursaspor fell to second place in the league. They maintained pressure on Fenerbahçe who had overtaken them. Going into the final game of the season, Bursaspor were just one point behind Fener, and needed to better their results against defending champions Beşiktaş. Knowing that the match against Beşiktaş could prove decisive, Sağlam told FIFA.com:

"I hope we can win the title before then and that it doesn't rest on those final 90 minutes. I hope that doesn't happen."[6]

With Fenerbahçe held to a 1–1 home draw against Trabzonspor, and Bursa beating Beşiktaş 2–1, the Green Crocs were crowned champions, by just a single point. They are only the second club outside the "Istanbul Big Three" who have won the league. Trabzonspor were the other team, who last won in 1983–84. After winning the league, Sağlam said:

"After taking pole position in the league during the course of the season, we believed in our hearts that we could win the title. Despite losing the lead to Fenerbahçe we did not give up hope. We were always waiting to pounce if Fenerbahçe dropped points. Following in Trabzonspor's footsteps, we have brought success back to Anatolia, he added. We have taken this honour. Now we have an even bigger responsibility on our shoulders; representing our country in the UEFA Champions League. We'll try not to let those who supported us down. The whole of Bursa has made history."[4]

2010–11 season onwards

Sahand Stadium

Of the recipe to

Turkish Press to reconsider the team as a serious title contender and not just a one-hit wonder, and they spent the majority of the league in either the first or second position. On March 29, 2011, Bursaspor and Saglam agreed to extend the contract with three years until the end of the 2014–15 season. However, Bursaspor finished third that season. After finishing the remaining of his seasons 8th and 4th, he signed a contract with Eskişehirspor.[8][9][10][11] On 5 January 2015, Sağlam resigned as Eskişehirspor manager.[12]

Past career

At the beginning of the season, Sağlam terminated his contract with Yeni Malatyaspor and signed a contract with Iranian side Tractor, a club based in Tabriz.

On 15 November 2019, Samsunspor announced that Sağlam would be returning to manage the club.[1]
